Before doing anything backup is important. So !. I like to have the stock DHD ROM backup,

if you have CWM recovery, then do a nandroid. You can get CWM recovery by either downloading ROM Manager and flashing the recovery (first option) or flash it through the BootLoader.
Then reboot intoo recovery and go to:
:Backup and Restore>Backup
(i think flashing CWM recovery needs ENG S-OFF, and root privileged)
If your not rooted and dont have S-OFF then you can find official RUUs here - CLICK HERE

I should start paying you, sending all this traffic to my site. I'd think you'd be more effective than a Google AdWords campaign.

Hey XDA-Dudes,
I just got my Desire HDand I wanted to put a custom ROM on it because the stock ROM is pretty crappy.
Now I saw in the recovery that this Phone is alread S-Off and the lazy noob I am I don't want to downgrad and root my phone just to install clockwork recovery (I'm on 2.2.1 Build 1,75,xxxxxx).
So can I use my stock recovery to flash a third party ROM?
And how do I do it?
Edit: I want to flash to CM7 if it's important.
gingerbreak is able to perm root your build. (install it from your sd card, and then run it)
it may error out and say something went wrong, its ok, reboot the device, and you're now probably rooted.
download rom manager from market and if the perm. root succeeded then use it to flash cwm recovery.
Did it but after the reboot I get stuck on this screen...
abload.de/img/img_0165xe4s.jpg
Edit: Pretty sure I'm S-Off:

you have radio S-Off, not ENG S-Off.
where it says "SHIP" it should say "ENG" instead.
Only then will you be able to flash cwm recovery.
Right now all you can do is flash different stock roms using the RUU via the pc, or PD98IMG off the sd.
Okay thanks,
I'll guess I'll go 1.32 and root afterwards to install crm.
I've installed CWM from the market and want to backup up my ROM. I need to Flash ColckworkMod recovery first but my phone isn't in the list.
WFS
S-ON
Unlocked
Rooted
How to proceed?
Thanks
So far there is no official CWM Recovery release for the Wildfire S. But there is an unofficial port by alquez that works fine:

My Desire was rooted before with a custom ROM. I've flashed back the original firmware, therefore the root was gone.
I followed the tutorial at this thread but I get stuck when I want to boot into recovery. The standard holding power and volume down procedure didn't work so I used ADB to boot into recovery. My device rebooted, but I get the red triangle and after that the 'Can't open /cache/recovery/command' error. I found out this means that the recovery isn't proparly installed.
When I use ADB to flash clockworkmod recovery Ithe message '< waiting for device >' remain standing. My Desire is in the HTC Sync modus, I see My HTC in windows device manager.
What is the next step to take? I've bricked an tablet before so I want to do the right thing.
Are you s-off? Also you use fastboot to flash the recovery, not adb.

Good point, I was forgotten all about s-off and on, it was a long time ago that I rooted my Desire.
I think I am not, beacause flashing the ROM of HTC also gives me a non-rooted phone. I'll check it this evening. Is using the tool from htcdev.com/bootloader the best way to become s-off?

No that will unlock your bootloader, not give you s off. Use revolutionary.
I found out I'm s-off, after I flashed clockworkmod recovery I used unrevoked to root. The rooting didn't succeed, I get the message 'failed to get root. Is your firmware to new?
I was on RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release, I have flashed an older stock ROM from the list on this page (1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984), and will try it again.
I'll let you know what the results are.

After you flashed recovery, there was no need to use unrevoked. All you had to do was boot into recovery and flash superuser.zip file. That would have rooted your existing rom.
However, what is your ultimate aim? If you want a ROM, you can simply flash the optimal hboot for the ROM (optional but recommended), boot into recovery, full wipe and flash the rom. The ROM will already be pre-rooted.

Don't use unrevoked. just flash the super su zip using cwm.

You're completly right, I was somewhatconfused, it has been a while since I last flashed a ROM, I was to much happy with Oxy ZM. :silly:
Everything is ok now, I've flashed succesfully. Thanks.
Hello guys, I'm in big trouble i will try to be as clear as possible, first i had a good working htc one x running official htc 4.2.2 no root nothing just the latest official OTA, after a while i got bored and decided to root it and install CM10.2 i had much trouble while rooting but at the end it was succesful and i managed to install cm10.2 from recovery mode, after that was finnished it kept hanging in bootloop, after several manual restarts i managed to get to get past the bootloop to the main screen, after spending a few weeks on cm10.2 i didnt like it and wanted to get my device back to stock so i can sell it but here is the trouble: i searched on youtube and found the video: Unbrick / Unroot the HTC One X: Back to Stock - Cursed4Eva
I followd every step correctly, and downloaded what i thought would be a compatible ruu but at the end of installation the RUU gave me the message that it must abbort the update because i have a different version or something, and honestly i just cant seem to figure out which ruu is the correct one for my device.
here is some info about my device and i hope you guys can help me out:
version-main: 4.18.401.4
There is no ruu ! Get a nand backup from the collection in the GENERAL section
I'm sorry could you be more specific? Why is there no RUU? And how can I install a nandroid back up? I can't even flash custom recovery on it. I don't care if there is no android 4.2.2 RUU for it, I'll take jellybean RUU or ICS RUU as long as it's compatible with my HOX.
Sent from my HTC Desire 500 using XDA Free mobile app
As i said there is just no ruu ! In the general section is a collection of backups, have a read there. All info is there, i won't type something here that is already written down.
You can't install a different ruu when you have a s-on device. Only s-off can do that but s-off is NOT available for the HOX (unless you find a shop that offers the service) so it's a nandroid backup or a custom rom. Downgrade is not an option.

any idea how to do that? because basicly i have deleted everything on my HOX and installed the original recovery and relocked the bootloader so now when i turn on the device it goes straight to bootloader, what should i do now?
Unlock the bootloader. Flash philz touch 5.15.9 recovery. Mount the sdcard inside the recovery. Unpack and place the nandroid backup in the correct folder (check the collection thread for info) flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup via fastboot. Perform a full wipe in the recovery and restore the nandroid backup.

Alright after a few hours I managed to finally get the device working I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the recovery, and flashed CM11 (I lost hope trying to find the right Nandroid backup) and everything works correctly like a charm.

Have a look for a clockworkmod (cwm) download for this model (buzz). Look for version 5.0.2.0 or above as a pc49img.zip download. add it to your sdcard and then reboot to bootloader. Allow it to update. After it is successful take out your sdcard and then reboot into bootloader. Scroll down to recovery and hit power. You should now boot into cwm recovery and be able to flash cm9. Follow the instructions in the cm9 thread for flashing, and remember that controls in cwm and different from when in hboot.

not unless you want your stock rom backup to have root. cm9 is pre rooted and by wiping and removing your stock rom you will have removed any previous rom mods like root. therefore its an extra step thats not needed
to Clarify further most people need to root to flash a custom recovery, but with your current hboot ( which is hacked) you can flash a recovery without root. so you can flash a supersu zip after flashing your custom recovery but its not much use if your just gonna wipe the phone and flash cm9.
